H.R. 1098 would reauthorize the appropriation of $350,000 annually from 2025 through 2031 period for the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service to administer the Junior Duck Stamp program. The program supports conservation education and hosts an annual national art competition for high school students. The winning design is featured on the junior duck stamp sold by the Department of the Interior. Under current law, the authorized funding for the program expired in 2010 and no money has been provided for the program in recent years.
Assuming appropriation of the specified amount each year, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 1098 would cost $2 million over the 2025-2030 period.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Kelly Durand. The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
